"They received the green light and started deploying this morning," a senior security source said Saturday. The officer, according to AFP, added that the area had been sealed off. At least 200 Egyptian border soldiers were deployed, Egyptian sources added.
Meanwhile, Elements of the PA preventive security apparatus arrested a Palestinian youngster, whose identity was not revealed, in Marka village, north of Jenin city, on suspicion of planning a suicide bombing attack against an Israeli occupation target.
